A Dansa For The Vocal "Out of Order" Challenge

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 6 months ago โ€ข Updated 5 months ago โ€ข 1 min read
A Nightcafe Creation By The Author

Introduction

This is a Dansa based on how time gets shorter as we age. It seems to go in the wrong direction, but I have written many times on this subject.

Pink Floyd's "Time" is one of the greatest songs on the subject.

We Think We Have All The Time In The World

As A Child A Week Can Last For A Year

Decades Stretch Before Us, We Have No Fear

Adults Say Don't Waste Your Time. They Are Churls

We Think We Have All The Time In The World

โŒ›๐Ÿ“–โŒ›

Then As We Age Our Decades Shrink To Years

We Feel Our Lives Are Getting Into Gear

Spending Time To Find A Boy Or A Girl

We Think We Have All The Time In The World

โŒ›๐Ÿ“–โŒ›

No Longer Teens, And Now We're Drinking Beer

Childhood Is Gone, Middle Age Drawing Near

Time Getting Faster, Your Mind In A Whirl

We Think We Have All The Time In The World

โŒ›๐Ÿ“–โŒ›

All Your Years More Quickly Now Disappear

Your Month Lasts A Week, Friends Are Lost In Tears

Then Your Week Becomes The Shortest Of Hours

We Think We Have All The Time In The World

โŒ›๐Ÿ“–โŒ›

Now Have Come Our Final Minutes My Dears

Counting The Seconds Until Life's No More

There's Nothing Left But Our Dust In A Swirl

We Think We Have All The Time In The World
